SANS Phoenix – Update
A couple weeks ago, I wrote a post announcing that I will be taking the Security Leadership Essentials course at SANS Phoenix, 2009. The conference is being held March 23-30, 2009.
I will be blogging about the event, so check back around that time to hear my thoughts on the course! As I said in my previous post, I am participating in the SANS Work-Study program, which I think is a tremendous value.
I am excited about two updates to my conference registration. First, I am also taking the SANS 2 day course on the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Standard. Second, I am getting access to the SANS On-Demand training for both of these courses. On-Demand is another cool option for training in this economy – solid computer based training with no travel costs! Both of these are included with my registration under the work study program!
Have you taken a SANS course? What did you think? What do you think of SANS? A couple of years ago, there was a session at ShmooCon entitled Anti-SANS (or something of the sort). It was a very spirited debate to say the least. I would love to hear what you think of SANS – good, bad, or indifferent!
It looks like SANS canceled the PCI audit course due to lack of registrations. I will still be taking the SANS Security Leadership Essentials course, which was the main reason I wanted to attend SANS Phoenix 2009.
Check back in late March to read my blog posts about the event!
